In 2023, Sasb Standards reported carbon emissions of approximately 214,000,000 kg CO2e, exclusively from Scope 1 emissions. This data is cascaded from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, reflecting the organisation's current subsidiary status. Despite the significant emissions reported, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their current initiatives. The absence of Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions data indicates a limited disclosure on their overall carbon footprint. Sasb Standards is committed to enhancing transparency in sustainability reporting, aligning with industry standards, and contributing to broader climate action efforts. However, without defined reduction targets, the effectiveness of their climate commitments remains unclear.
